Ahhhh. great to be back on the ole River

Monday, February 9, 2015

Could not wait to get back out on the ole Mississippi River after being on vacation in the Bahamas. Thing were not as good as it was before I left the open water of the river. One of the reactors has been been down and wow it has definitely affect the mood of our walleyes on the river.

Fished several areas on Monday, we mainly set out to camera areas on this date and sure glad we did we found a couple areas that had some nice walleyes in them, biggest challenge we have now is to figure what technique will trigger them to bite. On this date we pitched jigs and pulled jigs upstream to target hem. No real fast bite on either technique but we did get some to cooperate.

Now that the sun is staying up longer each day it will start to call more fish to travel upstream from lake Pepin to its spawning areas. This canbe a great time of the year to catch a walleye of the lifetime. Each time on the water this time of the year increases your odds of that elusive ten pound walleye. With the bellies full of eggs make sure you picture them giants quickly and return them to the river so they can do the spawn ritual.

Marty is was a great time to be on the water with you again thanks for getting me back on track and having that special jig you had in your tackle box. I will be buying them soon.

We fished in water depths from 10 to 21 foot today that is where we seen most of the walleyes on camera. Water temperature was 34 degrees and flow was 9800 cfps.
